OUT FROM THE SHADOWS FESTIVAL | 3 DAYS OF DARKWAVE & POST-PUNK
WE are Back!!!
Message from Dave Cantrell, Creator of OFTS Festival:
“We WILL make up for it, all of us together. Not to get too new-age about it, but please join me in making that promise to each other, and see you down the road when all this unfortunate dust has settled.”
That passage was part of a message that appeared in this space fifteen months ago as I announced the cancellation of Out From The Shadows VI. And while I couldn’t expect as I was writing those words that the reasons for that decision would extend quite as long, nor as tragically, as they ultimately did, the spirit behind them at least endured. In fact, not only did that sentiment endure, it has carried through to what many might consider insane heights. Meaning? Well, seeing as not only did 2020’s OFTS VI fall victim to the pandemic’s timing but so did what would have been this year’s OFTS VII just this past April, I thought what better way to make up for all that loss than to bring both those lost festivals back at the same time.
If at this point you’re thinking ‘Is he saying what I think he’s saying?’ the answer is Precisely! OFTS VI and OFTS VII will occur on two successive weekends in the spring of 2022! Featuring 42 bands from near and far and spanning two venues, Out From The Shadows is coming back big. Among those already confirmed are Twin Tribes, Curse Mackey, I Ya Toyah, Push Button Press, White Mansion, Creux Lies, Dead Astronauts, Social Station, Child of Night, Komrads, Vio\ator, Forever Grey, the list goes on and on with more to come so be sure to check back here over the coming couple of months and, of course, start making those plans to attend.
Dates/venues:
March 24/25/26: Star Theater
March 31/April 1/April 2: Dante’s
